I don't know about you but terrorism and ISIS are quite far down on my list of priorities. Why do the Cons think that's all we care about?

Her direct mail in my mailbox is so ugly and such a waste of money and paper.
I assume in this riding it's always been a vote against the conservatives, not a vote for Hedy Fry. I bet a zebra could run for the liberals in her riding and still win.

While the situation I mentioned is probably just irony, my friend works in a relatively high position for one of the largest staffing companies in the oil patch, JV driver. A massive company. As soon as the NDP came into power the CEO sent out a information package basically saying that depending on how tax structure and impact to the companies they supply forces to works out, they could be potentially pulling out of Alberta completely and focusing on their interests in the southern states.
This is a CEO reacting directly to the NDP coming into power, that isn't a coincidence like my scenario was.

Thats someone saying there is a possibility of something happening relating to the possibility of something that hadn't even happened at that point. People are being laid off because oil is high in supply and low in demand.
Granted what you are saying is a very important thing to take into consideration, that hasn't yet become the reason.
NDP most definitely could fuck shit up temporarily with higher tax structures, but thats not in play at the moment. If there was actually high demand and low supply for oil at the moment, those companies would still be clawing at our resources even with a tax increase.

I voted NDP for Alberta lol the Cons needed to go.
The people going off about how the NDP are destroying the Province.. well, they are simple folk.
Thought the dippers are totally fucking retarded for boosting their salaries by >7% while the Province is grinding to a halt financially lol
Doesn't matter what the NDP do in Alberta for the next 4 years, Cons will be back 100%, they are just on time out right now.
It's nice to see the current polls, people finally realize that Mulcair is full of shit and it's impossible for him to deliver on his every promise and still balance the books.
I'm voting Con (no shock there), more and more people seem to be coming to the dark side with me as the election date creeps closer.

The uneducated and elderly are the target audience for the Conservative Party, it's pretty much like the Republican Party of the North. Fear, Fear, and you can't do anything yourself... Only we can save you philosophy, just like the South use religion and good old white folk talk to get the masses riled up Study links low intelligence with right-wing beliefs - The Globe and Mail | |

^Bring back Nelson Riis! Kamloops was voting NDP before it was cool. They weren't voting for a party or a leader, but for the local MP because he was good at it.

Also, at this point, I wouldn't completely rule out a Lib-NDP coalition government as well. If the Libs & NDP try to pull that card, however, I suspect Steve Harpy would try the parliament prorogue card again (just like he did in the past).

Just want to clear that up.
If that's the bet. I'll take you up on it.

The Cons target audience are those that are self sufficient and are more or less happy with the level of Gov. serivices that exist and want to avoid additional taxation.
Go educate yourself, dullard.
